Cool app – AR WiFi Analyzer Review

I was hoping to map out my house and see where the WiFi signs was strongest. I “subscribed” for a year to use the free trial since I am not sure if the app was going to do what I was interested in. The augmented reality feature worked really well and I walked around my house with the camera aimed down and I was turning grey dots into colored dots. Green = fast ping to router, red = slow. The results were cool in the sense I could see a rough map of my house. I could tell where I walked around the kitchen island, around dining tables and beds, which bathrooms I forgot to scan etc. Five stars there! I was expecting to uncover dead zones or rooms where it was clearly slower than others but unfortunately all of the rooms were about the same. There were some random red dots next to green dots in the same room so I considered those outliers to be ignored but there were equal amounts of outliers everywhere so it couldn’t identify any problem areas. Perhaps my house coverage is good and I shouldn’t replace my existing setup with a new mesh router…hmmm And for the “unsubscribe”, it was easy once I figured out how. Go to iPhone settings, go to your Apple ID, then there is a menu item for subscriptions and I canceled with a click of a button. No calling customer support or emailing needed. The other cool thing is my house scans are still visible in the app even after I’ve canceled. I’m guessing I will lose access after the three day trial is up, I just didn’t want to forget to cancel since I don’t have any other use for this now. I feel like I’d pay a dollar or two for the use I already got out of this, I just don’t want to have to “subscribe”. Why didn’t I “buy” it for one month? I wasn’t sure if the app would do what I was hoping so making that the purchase decision before using it just felt weird. There’s plenty of junk apps that don’t work at all and I was afraid this might be one.
